Legal Address and Contact Person Services in Estonia

In this article, we will elaborate on two services of Punamoon Pluss OÜ and explain what is included in their price. We will look at the most common situations in which clients seek these services, so after reading, it will be clear how they differ.

• Legal Address Service in Estonia;
• Contact Person Service in Estonia.

Punamoon Pluss OÜ provides a legal address service for clients using our accounting support. The legal address service means that:

• Your company’s registration card B is entered with the legal address Mooni 18-60, Tallinn 10613;
• Punamoon Pluss OÜ employees receive mail for your company;
• Punamoon Pluss OÜ employees scan the received mail and forward it to your email address or notify you of the need to collect mail at the Punamoon Pluss OÜ office.

The service does not imply the inclusion of Punamoon Pluss OÜ’s phone and email address in the registration data of the client company.

The legal address service in Estonia is a licensed activity.

According to the Commercial Code of Estonia, a company must have a legal address. It is important to specify the correct address in the company’s registration data for timely receipt of correspondence by the board, as all official notifications from state institutions, employees, and business partners of the company will be sent to this address.

Not all companies rent or have an office for their activities and can indicate the office address as the legal address. Not all company directors want to specify their home address as the official address of the company. In such cases, the solution can be the service of Punamoon Pluss OÜ. Below we will consider the most common reasons why our clients purchase the legal address service.

1. Privacy

Many entrepreneurs want to separate personal life and work. The activity of a businessman involves interacting with many people, solving various work situations, not always pleasant ones. The legal address of the company is public information, accessible to anyone. For this reason, many entrepreneurs do not want to specify the address where they live. In doing so, they seek to protect themselves and their loved ones, shield their family from troubles and possible unpleasant situations, in a word, they value privacy.

2. Peace of Mind

The legal address is the official address specified in all state registers, the address where, in case of inspection, representatives of state institutions will come. Over our 30-year history, representatives from the Economic Police, Tax and Customs Department, and Labor Inspection have come to inspect our client companies at our accounting office. The arrival of authorities can be a big shock, especially if it is unplanned. Many entrepreneurs do not specify their home address and prefer to use Mooni 18-60 as the legal address, as they do not want to disturb their peace and carefully protect the tranquility of their family, especially children and elderly relatives.

3. Solidity

There is an opinion that a legal address indicating an apartment where a board member of the firm lives is not solid, and an address indicating a business area looks more representative and makes a favorable impression on clients and business partners of the company.

4. Lack of a Permanent Address

Another common reason why our clients purchase our legal address service is the lack of a permanent address. Typically, this happens if a board member rents a place of residence and often changes it. Frequent changes of a rented apartment entail the need to change the company’s registration data in card B every time. Untimely and frequent changes of the legal address in the Commercial Register are, firstly, troublesome, and secondly, may lead to a situation where some correspondence does not reach the addressee. Moreover, not all landlords will agree to have a company registered at the address of their apartment.

5. Lack of Address in Estonia

Many of our clients are non-residents of Estonia. Mainly, they manage companies remotely and during their rare visits to Estonia, they stay in hotels. If they do not have an office, store, warehouse, or other representation in Estonia, they usually purchase the legal address service from Punamoon Pluss OÜ. In such a case, when the company’s board is actually located in another country and manages the Estonian company remotely, the law requires having a contact person in Estonia. We will discuss the contact person service below.

The law states that a contact person should be appointed if the legal entity’s address is in a foreign state. Contact person details are entered into the company’s registration card B for a certain period. To act as a contact person in Estonia, it is necessary to have a license in accordance with the Law on Prevention of Terrorism and Money Laundering. Our companies have such a license, and we can be the contact person entered in card B. You can familiarize yourself with the licenses of our companies on the website of the Estonian Economic Activities Register (Punamoon Pluss OÜ, license number FIU000023).

We provide both the contact person service and the legal address service exclusively to clients using the accounting services of our office.
